Walking through Luke: Spoken
God has given Zechariah even more than he originally desired. He wanted a child; God has given him a son and also a word.

John’s birth, name and calling was the gift to prepare the way for Christ, just as Christ’s coming was a gift to prepare the way to heaven for the rest of humanity.
When Zechariah comes out of the temple, there are many people who have been waiting for him to come out. He gestures to let them know that he can’t speak – he is unable to share some of the best news of his life because of his unbelief.
Are we like John? Are we announcing the coming of the Messiah? Are we sharing the joy of our salvation with our family and friends?
As we wait, often painfully, for our pleas before the Lord to be answered, may we still offer them. May these daily requests not become a stale routine, but remind us that they are sweet-smelling sacrifices to our loving God and Father.
Barrenness is all too familiar for many of us; if not the barrenness of our womb, then perhaps the fruitlessness of our job, our marriage, our ministry, our prayer life, or our fight against sin.
God’s holiness and our nature has not changed, but what has changed is that Jesus, the Son of God, came to be born a man, lived a perfect life, died and was resurrected from the dead, paying for our sins and purchasing eternal life for us.
These passages that we look to today and in the following week all come from one of the largest displays of God’s presence and power in all of history.
